With most new herd sires purchased as yearling bulls- management prior to, during, and after the first breeding season is particularly important.  See what Iowa native Dr. Scott P. Greiner, has to say on managing young bulls.  Dr. Greiner recieved his BS and PhD at ISU and is now an Extension Animal Scientist at Virginia Tech.
